Gangplank Galleon lyrics

Please do not post "lyrics" to a song unless it's in an actual, recognized language like other vocal songs in the Mario franchise. It's very likely the vocals were meant to be unintelligible sounds, and the fan-created lyrics were the result of their listening for English words in the vocals and transcribing them based on that. Mario JC 23:51, 8 October 2018 (EDT)

That's absurd; the lyrics are clearly English and there's nothing to imply that it's gibberish. There's nothing to debate here: just listen to the song, the lyrics match perfectly to what I written. Pikazilla (talk) 10:17, 9 October 2018 (EDT)

If you believe it's "absurd" then please find and submit official lyrics as said by Mario jc above. I, too, agree on the high possibility that for all we know, the lyrics could be gibberish (or they're meant to be unintelligible). Song lyrics like those from the DK Rap, Phantom of the Bwahpera, and Jump Up, Super Star! have lyrics sections because their lyrics are official...unlike, well, what you added. ^(T|C) 10:35, 9 October 2018 (EDT)

I honestly don't know why this 'it could be gibberish' mentality even exists when you can just hear the song to confirm the lyrics. I will admit that finding an official source of the lyrics is difficult, but that does not mean Nintendo won't release those lyrics in the future, especially once the game releases. Once that source gets posted, the lyrics should be posted. We can wait until then, but we shouldn't dismiss the lyrics once confirmed. Pikazilla (talk) 16:57, 9 October 2018 (EDT)

Exactly. That's the entire point we're trying to convey to you. ^(T|C) 17:16, 9 October 2018 (EDT)

The reason they sound vaguely similar is because, as I said, fans listened for English words in the vocals (which since the instruments are so loud you can only barely hear) and the "lyrics" came about based on what they heard. It happens for other songs with unintelligible vocals (e.g. "Title (Big Brain Academy)" in Brawl) and even vocals in other languages (e.g. the Brawl theme), and there are multiple different interpretations. That doesn't necessarily mean it is English. Mario JC 20:45, 9 October 2018 (EDT)

I'm not going to debate this; just agree to disagree. Pikazilla (talk) 11:17, 10 October 2018 (EDT)

Userspace

Nice to see you editing your userpage for the first time in 12 years :P But keep in mind your should limit your userspace edits in short bursts. Edit the whole page if you have to and use the "Show preview" button to keep your userpage from filling your edit count and the recent changes. 11:34, March 12, 2019 (EDT)

I understand your concern; however I need to edit in short bursts because I lose connection with the wiki frequently and I don't want my edits to be erased as a result. Pikazilla (talk) 13:14, March 12, 2019 (EDT)

Oh, that's not good. Perhaps working on a separate document and then copying over the finished work once it's done would work well. 13:18, March 12, 2019 (EDT)

I'll keep that in mind. Pikazilla (talk) 13:44, March 12, 2019 (EDT)

Removing warnings

Doesn't matter how old or relevant they are; they are permanent records and shouldn't be removed, but they're not going to be held against you or anything, especially decade-old ones. Mario JC 01:06, March 14, 2019 (EDT)

I still think it's unfair that it's mandatory for something over 10 years old to still be glued to my user talk page; especially since you admit that it's not relevant anyways. Pikazilla (talk) 11:48, March 15, 2019 (EDT)

Talk pages are meant to be historical records. Even if they are no longer relevant, doesn't mean they should be outright removed or ignored. 11:55, March 15, 2019 (EDT)
